    Your dxdiag.txt seems alright, though is seems other games such as Portal and Orion are crashing on you too. Can you check the list of known incompatible software?
    https://wiki.palobby.com/wiki/Windows_Incompatible_Software
    Also try the clean boot option at the end of that list if you don't have any software on that list.

    By the way, the - probably just meant that mikeyh posted something and then thought better of it and deleted it by replacing it with a -.

    I recently had corrupted windows32 files in my system but just reset my system. I thought that'd fix my crash issue with PA along with my other games but it didn't. I dont have any of that software listed

    Did you also try the clean boot option I mentioned?

    My crash is far too inconsistent to see if it will be re produced with a clean boot. I can play the game anywhere from 1-3 hours until it crashes. Also the game only crashes about half the time when I start it up. It would be a tedious pain to try and see if the crash would reproduce with clean boot.

    Well, we need to narrow it down somehow. There is some weird stuff out there that can interfere in unexpected ways.

    Other than that, you can try some general maintenance, but I don't know if that will help anything. You can try scanning your system files with the SFC tool that comes with Windows (see here). Another thing that sometimes helps people is redownloading the latest graphics drivers, uninstall the current ones, reboot, install the freshly downloaded drivers, and reboot again.

    Those two methods will ensure that none of your system or driver files are corrupted somehow (and survived the reset you did).

    Finally, you can try unplugging your USB headset to see if that helps. It sounds weird, but for the longest time there were crashes of PA in combination with the Afterglow USB headset. You have a different headset, so that's probably not the issue, but it doesn't hurt to try.

    Only the DxDiag.txt says something about PA crashing. The PA logs themselves either are clean or just stop without any error.

    Not much to go on:
